Hi all,

I recently sold a few knives from my stable that have been sitting in the drawer for the last year, and I decided to buy a new knife with some of the cash. Here is my new Scagel design "Fruitport" with ram's horn scales. I hope you enjoy ...

If you are not familiar with these, the three features that really drew me are the 1095 carbon steel blade, a convex grind on the blade and a wharncliffe blade that begs to cut apples. Walk and talk is nice and the handle fills the hand nicely. I doubt this one will be relegated to the drawer any time soon.

Looks good Tal. I own one in ivory with a clip blade and the handle design is one the best I've ever held. I haven't seen the rams horn before but like it! Nice score :thumbup:

Nathan
 
I have the same Ivory as Nathan. After seeing his pics I couldn't resist. Yours looks great too. Enjoy it.

Hi Nathan and Kevin,

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the knife. The handle and blade are both longer than I expected, which is great. Nice scores on the ivory. I was drooling over the bone scales but decided on the horn.

Cheers,

Tal
 
Ahhh curses! I was just going through these during my morning meeting...I'm taking this as a sign.

Great looking Ram's Horn...and I've yet to pick one of these up..might just have to now...
 
I like Ram's Horn as a scale and this knife looks exceptionally decent.

You must be pleased!

Regards, Will
 
I have the clip in smooth bone and wharnie in rams horn.

I just wish I had pulled the trigger on the ivory.

Two of the nicest knives I have.
 
Great looking knife. I have the clip point in smooth bone and just love it. Goes with me almost everyday. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine.
 
Hey all,

I have been really impressed by the knife so far. Last night my wife organized a party for a bunch of her co workers and she asked my favorite question during set up at the local park: "you have your knife on you?" I handed it over and she began to trim flowers. After the second stem she said, "wow, this thing is sharp." I got home and did a paper test to see if the edge needed a touch up. It sliced right through the paper.


Loving it ...
 
Great looking Fruitport. I love the look of that long thin wharncliffe!!
 
Well, this has been an inspirational thread. I just place an order for a smooth bone wharncliffe. I can't wait to get it in my hands. I keep staring at the pictures to hold me over until it arrives.
 
That's it, I can't resist it any longer. Now that it looks like the forum knife might be on the wider side especially.
Thin wharnies are just about the nicest looking blades there are.
 
I've been looking for something this general size and shape for some time, and for whatever reason, hadn't come across the Scagel until this post. I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger I had been so close to pulling a few times in the past couple of months.
 
Congrats! I went with the white bone wharncliffe version and I carry it quite a bit. If it wasn't Stockman month it would be in my pocket right now :D
